After Taupo we drove south to Wellington with an impromtu stop at the New Zealand Army Museum.

An impromptu stop at the NZ Army Museum. It was an impressive museum and we could have spent much of a day there. |
The highlight of our time in Wellington was the
Te Papa museum. As Liz writes about, we thought we could do it justice in part of a day ... Two almost full days later and we still have not seen it all.

Not only are whales majestic, they have big hearts. Benjamin inside a full size model of a blue whale heart, |
One of the unexpected highlights of the Te Papa was the
Gallipoli exhibit. After 23 years in the military and with an interest in history I have been to a fair number of military museums. None have done as good of a job connecting the attendee to the people involved in the conflict.

Throughout the Gallipoli Exhibit there were 2.4 times life size models of some of the participants. |
